If you love an image (whether it's yours or someone else's) and want to make sure others get a chance to see it, you can “feature” it by choosing the “Spotlight” button.

When an image is Spotlighted, it receives enhanced visibility in premium spots throughout the site. Spotlighted images are rotated through these higher-visibility positions to ensure the best opportunity for the images to be seen by JPG users.

If you see a great photo that would make a perfect entry for one of our
Shoot Out photo contests but it was uploaded by another user, now you can
enter that photo in the contest and, if it wins, you get to share in the
contest winnings.

Like a photo editor, if you've got an eye for great work,
find it and submit it to a contest. If it wins, since you staked the entry
fee, you'll take home part of the prize (the rest, of course, goes to the member
who shot the image).

3 o'clock in the morning, me and my friends getting into the city named the Negara in Bali. It takes at least 3 hours from Denpasar to reach the location of buffaloes racing game, known here as Makepung. The flurry of buffaloes racing unique traditional performances typical of this country town, has been seen since 6 am. Located in an area with paddy fields, this Makepung was held.

At around 7 am, the race began. Previously a lot of preparation done by the participants. Beginning of the ceremony according to local belief, respectively, with a unique dressing buffaloes, and check all the other preparations.

The background of this race is a time of joy after the harvest. Its history is held by two blocks of the local village sides. A participant using two buffaloes to pull carts behind them, driven by a jockey in the cart behind. The winner is determined by way ahead of the opponent in front of it which is about 10 meters, or if it is able to shorten the distance, but not beyond it. Otherwise the series (draw) if they stay the same distance to the end of the finish line.
